Server Trunk Configuration
Use the Server Trunk Configuration screen to connect switches to servers that
support multiport, single-MAC, network interface controllers (NICs).
You can logically connect up to eight switch ports together to create up to four
trunks in any of the following configurations:
• One trunk --- with the trunk configured with at least two trunk members, but
not more than four.
• Two trunks --- with each trunk configured with at least two trunk members,
but not more than four.
• Three trunks --- with each trunk configured with at least two trunk members,
but not more than four; the combined trunks cannot exceed eight trunk
members (see Note).
• Four trunks --- with each trunk configured with two trunk members.
Note:
Do not use the server trunk configuration screen to create
switch-to-switch trunk links. Use the inter-switch trunk configuration screen to
create switch-to-switch trunk links (see “I
nter-Switch Trunk Configuration”
on page 1-22
).
Note:
When creating a three trunk configuration, do not configure any two of
the trunks with three trunk members. This configuration is not supported.
Note:
When using the Server Trunk Configuration to connect a trunk to a
server utilizing a single MAC address, set up your trunk members according to
the information provided in Appendix B, “Server/Trunk Connections.”
